Abstract
The advancement in the current communication
technology makes it incumbent to analyze the conventional
features of reflectarray antenna for future adaptability. This
work thoroughly reviews the design and experimental features
of reflectarray antenna for its bandwidth improvement in microwave
and millimeter wave frequency ranges. The paper
surveys the fundamental and advanced topologies of reflectarray
design implementations which are needed particularly for its
broadband features. The realization of its design approaches
has been studied at unit cell and full reflectarray levels for
its bandwidth enhancement. Various design configurations have
also been critically analyzed for the compatibility with the high
frequency 5G systems
